Jobs, anyone?

Why is it so difficult to find work in our country? Nowadays it seems as though everyone is REQUIRING more than 2 years of applicable professional expirience ON TOP OF a bachelors or MASTERS degree in order to acquire an ENTRY LEVEL position! This just seems insane to me! How can anyone be expected to have 2 years of expirience for an entry level position? If you have more than two years of expirience you should be elegible for management training, not a bottom-of-the-totem-pole-a-temp-could-do-what-you're-doing job. And if you don't have that Bachelors... whoa boy you better watch out! You'll be flipping burgers or schlepping coffee or working mall security for the rest of your life, never making over 30,000 a year!

Yeah and our economy is supposed to be getting better according to the current administration, but most people are laying off their employees, let alone even hiring right now. It grinds my gears to see the government bail out the banks and car companies when Joe the accountant got laid off before Christmas and will strougle to feed his family let alone buy economy-stimulating consumer products for his loved ones. The "American Dream" has become our nightmare. American children starving to death and honest hardworking citizens who can't provide for their families. This is no way to live. If we want our economy to improve we have to start providing our citizens with REAL jobs! Not retail, not hourly wage jobs but jobs with salaries and pensions and bonuses and 401k's and major medical insurance. America needs income far more than it needs another bank to suck the interest off our hard earned hourly wages.

I think that the government could solve this problem by creating a tax-dollar funded employment program that takes the unemployed and helps them find decent jobs with competitive pay. It will turn the unemployment-check takers into taxpayers! It's a brilliant idea! They could offer temporary tax breaks for companies who cease layoffs and start hiring immediately. And the taxpayer dollars that all of the new taxpayers pay would cover the overhead! This is a win-win solution for everyone.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!
